Below are some important points showing the correct way to write numbers in your invitations.

Addresses, house numbers and street numbers should always be written out in full, with the exception of Saint ( St. ) which may be used either way.

Date and time must be spelled out in full.

For example, you should write:

'the fifteenth of May', rather than 'May 15^th’,
'at six o’clock' rather than '6:00pm' and
'at two in the afternoon' rather than ' 2:00pm'.

The year should also be spelled out, for example:

'two thousand and two' rather than ‘2002’

  However if the invitation is informal, the date can be as follows:

'June 15th, 2002'

Therefore, a sample invitation would look something like this:

Anna

daughter of Mr. & Mrs. K. Borg

and

Peter

son of Mr. & Mrs. N. Scicluna

request the pleasure of the company of
